Purchase Process Walkthrough

To register a domain name with New.net™, it will only take a few minutes. You only need to specify the Contact Information and credit card billing information associated with your domain name. DNS information is not required during sign-up; this can be edited at any time after the registration is complete.

Step 1: Enter domain you wish to purchase

Simply type your domain name in the field provided, place a checkmark next to your desired domain extension, then click "Check It." Select the language you wish your domain extension to appear in by clicking on the appropriate tab.

A New.net domain name can be up to 55 characters long - excluding the characters used to identify the domain name extension (.SHOP, .GAME, etc.). Valid characters are letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and a hyphen "-". A hyphen may not begin or end a domain name. Spaces and special characters like the underscore "_", an exclamation mark "!" or accented characters are NOT permitted.

Example: your name.shop (not valid, no spaces allowed)
Example: your_name.shop (not valid, no underscores allowed)
Example: your&name.shop (not valid, no special characters allowed)
Example: your-name.shop (valid)
Example: yourname.shop (valid)


Step 2: Add domain to Shopping Cart

Step 3: Choose domain registration period

From the drop-down menu, choose the purchase period for your domain. Next, click the "First Time User" button and proceed to Step 4.

  • If you wish to delete a particular domain from your shopping cart, click the "Delete" button next to that domain and it will be removed.
  • If you wish to change the purchase period for any domains in your shopping cart, select the desired period from the appropriate drop-down menu, then click the "Update Total" button to view your new purchase total.

Step 4: Create a New.net account

Be sure to use an existing, valid e-mail address as well as a password you can remember easily. Check the boxes at the bottom to receive e-mail updates and special offers.

When finished, click the "Submit" button.

Step 5: Enter Contact Information

For each New.net account, you must submit Billing, Administrative and Technical contact information. Each of these contacts can be different. If you wish to use the same contact information you submitted when you created your account in Step 4, select it from the drop-down menu (by e-mail address).

If you wish to use different information for a contact record, select "Create a new contact record" and then enter the information such as in the example below. As indicated, the Administrative Contact will be displayed as the "currently registered to" information when anyone attempts to register your purchased domain.

When finished, click "Next".

Step 6: Confirm Purchase/Submit Payment information

On this page, the first thing you should do is verify that all displayed information is correct. If you need to make changes, just click the "Change Information" button for the corresponding section.

Next, enter your payment information:

As indicated, this information MUST match the billing information for the credit card being used. After verifying that the information is correct, be sure to read our Registration Agreement and then place a check in the box at the bottom. Also, checking this box will acknowledge that you understand that the number of Internet users who have access to New.net domain names is currently limited to the number at the bottom of the purchase page and most every other page on the site. This number includes those who access the Internet via one of our ISP partners or who have activated their browsers using New.net's plug-in software. Please note that New.net does NOT store credit card information. When finished verifying your information, click the "Submit Order" button ONLY ONCE.
